Sault Police investigated a minor traffic mishap that left a vehicle on the sidewalk in the 400 block of Ashmun. According to reports, a 20-year-old Dafter resident was northbound when a vehicle attempting to turn west onto Arlington stopped in the roadway. The Dafter man went to apply the brakes only to find they were not working. The quick-thinking operator avoided the crash with the second vehicle by leaving the roadway and driving onto the sidewalk. The truck came to rest against a cement pillar with only minor damage to the vehicle and a shop window. There were no citations issued.
